I stay in East Delhi and this is very worrying. East Delhi has many unsafe buildings that can fall anytime a major earthquake strikes the city. Have they forgotten, Delhi is prone to earthquakes and is in the high risk seismic Zone IV.

Not only that, it also has the highest number of unauthorised colonies where houses have been constructed on weak foundations. Someone do something!

North Delhi is no better, many structures here are more than 200 years old, and can fall anytime. If these fall with people inside them, the civic agencies will have to give a lot of answers.

Yes, buildings that are deemed “dangerous” by the city’s municipal corporations this monsoon are expected to be torn down after evacuation. However, there is a catch there, that is no such on-paper exercises has ever yielded results and structures to collapse due to rains.

I second that! Did you know in the past 10 days, two buildings have collapsed in Delhi? Yes a 100 year old building housing offices and shops came down in Old Delhi’s Chandni Chowk area a few days ago and the Bengali Club, situated close to the Kashmere Gate wall on Boulevard Road, collapsed on Saturday night. Yet, the civic bodies claim that action is being taken.
